Canada values the entry of TV and film personnel, recognizing its role in attracting investments and creating jobs. The TV and Film Production Work Permit Category allows foreign nationals to work without needing a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), though they must still comply with temporary work regulations, including obtaining a Temporary Resident Visa if required. Production companies must prove that the foreign worker’s role is essential, providing supporting documentation such as a letter from the production outlining the project details, economic benefits, and job creation. If the position is unionized, a letter from the relevant union confirming no objections is also necessary. Some individuals in the entertainment industry may qualify as business visitors and may not need a work permit.
